Coming to America 2?
There are plenty of unnecessary sequels to Eddie Murphy movies. NUTTY PROFESSOR 2. BEVERLY HILLS COP 2. DADDY DAY CAMP. The list could go on and on. And now you can add to that list COMING TO AMERICA 2. Before we get into analyzing what a ridiculous idea this is, let me first explain. Alcon Entertainment is developing BACK TO AMERICA, a comedy that would star Martin Lawrence as a working class guy from Queens who discovers he is the heir to the throne of an African country and he travels to claim his birthright. Nowhere in the announcement is a mention of COMING TO AMERICA so I suppose it's not a technical sequel but c'mon. It's COMING TO AMERICA in reverse! The guy is even from Queens! It's called BACK TO AMERICA! And if I had to guess, Martin Lawrence will also play multiple characters in the film. Maybe Eddie Murphy will have a cameo and Martin's character will actually be the heir to Prince Akeem. Hell bring back King Jaffe Joffer just for the hell of it! Louie Anderson, Samuel L. Jackson, get the whole crew back together!

What I meant is that he is STILL talented. Its just that he's a good actor in bad movies (theres a difference). Take a look at Steven Seagal; do you always look forward to seeing his new movies? If you mentioned Out For Justice, Marked For Death, Under Seige, etc I'm sure you'll say you loved those films compared to Pistol Whipped, The Ruskan, or whatever DTV flicks he's ...

But does that mean he's a shitty actor? I still like him but not the way I used to and its the same here with Martin.
Unlike Seagal (with the tired ponytail) Martin Lawrence has the POTENTIAL to make a comeback. That's why I said he's still funny.

As if it was too hard to criticize his movies and sequels.

The dude is STILL funny (watch some of his older stuff) and someone needs to come to his rescue but this upcoming movie feels like its screaming straight-to-dvd. And we all know what happens when once-famous actors venture into that territory.
This cycle needs to end! I WANT TO BE A MARTIN LAWRENCE FAN AGAIN!!!!
